One of our male goats has been getting his head stuck in the fence at least 4 times a day. I finally got tired of going out to help him out every time. Hopefully, this solves the issue. 😂

Can you say Redneck? We had an old trampoline frame laying around. I flipped it upside down, I wire tied three cattle panels to it, put a sheet of ¼" plywood for a wind block and added piece of sheet metal for a roof. We put our male goats in there until they go to auction. They have done a good job eating our weedy field down to dirt. I have to move them two times a day! Now, we can broadcast new seeds to rejuvenate our field.

More fence row and field clean up. Misty and the boys rode on the trailer while I drove the tractor. The boys thought it was pretty cool when I'd get off the tractor and let it drive along side me in low 1st gear. We ended up filling up the trailer twice with sticks, brush, rocks, blocks, junk metal, and whatever trash was on the ground.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Today the boys painted flower pots and planted in them. We planted in some of our containers as well.
We also started a strawberry patch!! 🍓 We scored about 50 strawberry starts and got those planted.
Lastly, we planted about 75 daffodils that someone had given us! 🌼
We are very grateful for this beautiful weather.
So much to be thankful for.
God bless!

Spring has arrived! Our apple tree and cherry tree are in full bloom and the grass is green, the elderberries are starting to green. So far we've been pretty busy the month of April. We got a whole new flock 15 laying hens, 9 guineas, and 2 free ducks. My dad came over and dug a ditch for a new electric line to the barn. In the process we hit a water line so I went ahead and installed a new water line and hydrant. We also ripped out about 500ft of old over grown fence. I found spots with 5 layers of fencing and a old mattress springs to patch a hole. We are waiting on the neighbor to pull out the stumps so we can install new fencing. Im Thankful to God for providing us with this slice of heaven.

Round two of goat babies. I went out this morning and found another girl. Did you know a goats gestational period is five months. That means way back in September one of the bucks slipped through the fence. Both babies seem to be healthy and doing well. Come spring I think we're going to haul the boys in to the Amish auction and come home with one that will be put in a pen built like Fort Knox so we don't have anymore winter babies.

We have a new addition to the farm! I don't like winter babies due to their low survival odds but apparently someone got through the fence and decided we needed one. We've got mom and baby hooked up with plenty of deep bedding, multiple heat lamps and extra food for mom.

A nice blanket of snow on the farm. We got 12 inches of snow and some of the drifts are 5ft tall!
